8003310500

I had this same thing come up on My daughters line. There were two 19.99 charges and of course first instinct was to go off. That was until I did some research on the matter and found that it is indeed a scam by these companies and that ATT has no affiliation with these companies. I had the purchase block put on her line and ATT was kind enough to refund the full amount on the charges.

i kept getting weird texts from this number, that i ignored, until i got a ridiculous bill on my phone!

I did not approve and have never heard of this company.

I received a charge on my last month bill for 9.99 from a download (this was connected to my daughters phone) called Mblox LANA 73000#4403. The number it was charged from was 800-331-0500. Today I asked that the subscription be cancelled, I guess I'll wait and see if it gets cancelled.

Just noticed the charge of $5.30 and I was wondering what the heck that was for SMS ac:57413 ...so I called and ATT removed it and reimburssed me w.o any ?'s  so Im thinking they have this info right by there side and they know it is a nuisance.  How annoying!

I have no idea where this charge came from or who this number belongs to.

To all of the people who keep saying this is a normal charge -- it MAY be on your bill, but not on mine!  By now, we all know the phone number is AT&T support -- it is not helpful to keep pointing that out.  There are fraudulent charges on some bills to a variety of company names, apparently.  Mine was for "DigitalContent" from OpenMarket.  I received 3 text messages I never even knew about -- the first gave me a PIN, the second said I had 30 credits and the third said the service had been cancelled and I would not be billed.  However, there was a charge for $14.99 plus tax on my bill.  I went through AT&T's "Challenge a Charge" online, and was told too many refund requests had been made and mine was denied.  I will be calling them tomorrow, since they are not open on Sundays.

we had 2 $71.89 charges from this number show up on a debit card. we do not have an att account. bs 2 the ones who say "nothing sinister" this is theft by deception.

My cell phone bill came and i for the last few months been getting charged $39.96 for openmarket and m-Qube Inc. the merhant contact is 1-800-331-0500
and I don't know why.

what now?

My son has a new phone that we have the internet access purposely blocked.  We have charges this month for $10.99 with a merchant name of Mblox  and $9.99 listed as m-Qube.Inc.  I am calling AT & T and see how hard this will be to have this reversed.  Watch out for your children's phones!

I also got this number on my phone and was aware of what is was so i went to att.com and found out that i can challenge the payment and they will aprove or denie it mine was denied but i was able to check a box that said stop my subscripetion so hopefully next month it wont be on ther to get direct access to the forms go to att.com/db and its simple you enter your number and then get a free text with the secret code to login and it shows you everything  if you have any questions on this free free to email me at crm478@yahoo.com if your askin why id do this its because i hate being taken advantage of and im willing to fight back

I had this number on my wireless bill, with a charge of $19.99. Along with a description of " OPERATELE:75714#8089, Mblox ". I called AT&T and they're taking it off the bill. I got no idea what it was about. I found it on a bill that was a few months old, now I know to carefully review each bill.

I just got a charge to my bank account (!) from this number! I've never called them or received a call from them, yet somehow they charge my bank account $38.70??? I'm guessing there'll be a charge to my cell phone as well, based on the other comments here. This is obviously a scam, now I have to call my bank and ATT, I guess!

Got one today, didn't answer.

what is this number used for

I got text msg charge on my phone bill. Sometimes it's a 'text Elmo (or such) to 55533 to enter to win tickets' then they charge you $0.99 for the text and sign you up for a continual service. I texted the first time, so I'm not disputing the charge, but will check with AT&T and make sure I am not signed up for anything month to month. This was at a Harlem Globetrotters game, so I know what I was charged for, but I need to make sure it's not a monthly charge. You can get signed up for monthly services and not even know it.

Got charged for several months for unknown "mobile purchase and downloads", and the merchant contact shows 1-800-331-0500. I didn't download or purchase any [***] thing. We should sue this company.

Calls to this number are coming in on my parents Jitterbug account.  Jitterbug is not being nearly as nice as it seems AT & T is about removing the charges from their phone bill.
